Is Dragon's Dogma 2 worth it if I already have the first one?

Looking at reviews, it seems like a common criticism of the second game is that it's mostly a repeat of the first with a few additions, but also without fixing any of its issues.

To people who have played both: is it worth playing the second one? I already have the first, as it was included in a bundle, but never played it.

• Thanks everyone for answering! I'll be playing DD first then.
